Description

Trauma and the Body Sensorimotor Approach Psychotherapy Pat Ogden Norton 2006 HC. Trauma and the Body: A Sensorimotor Approach to Psychotherapy is a foundational text in somatic psychology, establishing a comprehensive framework for integrating body-oriented interventions into traditional talk-therapy paradigms. Drawing upon extensive research in neuroscience, attachment theory, and dissociation, the authors outline how traumatic experiences disrupt the body's physiological equilibrium and remain embedded within the nervous system long after cognitive processing has occurred. The work introduces the core tenets of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a modality designed to bridge the gap between top-down (cognitive/emotional) and bottom-up (somatic) therapeutic interventions. This volume serves as an essential reference tool for clinicians, neuroscientists, and trauma researchers. It provides specialized, detailed chapters analyzing information processing dimensions, the modulation of hyperarousal and hypoarousal within the "window of tolerance," dyadic regulation, and somatic defensive subsystems.
